You have to not worry about this error this is mongoose warning . Actually Mongoose use inspect() to debug output . they will update it may be before node 12.x . For now it is safe to use this.

Nothing to worry.

Check this info. https://nodejs.org/api/deprecations.html#deprecations_dep0079_custom_inspection_function_on_objects_via_inspect

DEP0079: Custom inspection function on Objects via .inspect()# Type: Runtime

Using a property named inspect on an object to specify a custom inspection function for util.inspect() is deprecated. Use util.inspect.custom instead. For backward compatibility with Node.js prior to version 6.4.0, both may be specified.

If you want more detail, see this . This is under progress. Warning will come in node 10

In order to not get the deprecation message you can upgrade to mongoose version 5.2.10 or later according to this Github mongoose issue and the set the following at a proper location in code:

mongoose.set('useCreateIndex', true)

Another way to set it is...

mongoose.connect(
    "mongodb://<user>:<password>@<url>",
    { 
      useNewUrlParser: true, 
      useCreateIndex: true 
    }
  )

To solve this problem, You have to use useNewUrlParser and useCreateIndex. See the code below.

mongoose.connect(
 config.databaseUrl,
 { 
    useNewUrlParser: true, 
    useCreateIndex: true 
 }
)

Or

mongoose.set("useCreateIndex", true);    
mongoose.connect(
    config.databaseUrl,
    { 
        useNewUrlParser: true
    }
  );

You should add the options useCreateIndex to your connect method

mongoose.connect(keys.mongoURI, {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useCreateIndex: true,
})

Totally random but at least it's not a copycat answer: I was getting this deprecation warning (and unexpected behavior) when I accidentally used Model.find() instead of Model.findOne()

So my erroneous code looked like this

User.find(query)
.then(user => {
  console.log(user.emailSettings.confirmToken)
})

...with an ordinary object/array, this would fail with TypeError: Cannot read property 'confirmToken' of undefined but with an mongo document array apparently it does this inspecty thing and now gives this deprecation warning.

I want to add to this thread that it may also have to do with other dependencies.

For instance, nothing I updated or set for NodeJS, MongoDB or Mongoose were the issue - however - my problem was that connect-mongodb-session had been updated and starting slinging the same error. The solution, in this case, was to simply rollback the version of connect-mongodb-session from version 2.3.0 to 2.2.0.

mongoose.connect(process.env.CONNECTION_MONGO, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true,
useCreateIndex: true,
useFindAndModify: false,
})
.then(() => {
console.log("Database connected...");
})
.catch((err) => console.error(err));

While this code may provide a solution to the question, it's better to add context as to why/how it works. This can help future users learn and eventually apply that knowledge to their own code. You are also likely to have positive-feedback/upvotes from users, when the code is explained. – Amit Verma Feb 13 '21 at 19:04
